Hundreds of Veterans Protest By Lining Up For Free Marijuana

If you aren’t aware of the current state of affairs regarding medical marijuana and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), here’s the situation: nearly a month ago Colorado rejected PTSD as a qualifying condition for medical marijuana applicants.

This most directly affects veterans who are reporting, in increasing numbers, unparalleled therapeutic benefits using marijuana, sparing them a host of pharmaceuticals and the addiction that commonly comes with pills.

“To deny [PTSD as a qualifying condition] because we don’t have the exact research is really shortsighted.”

In a small victory of sorts, Denver industry activists Roger Martin (Grow4Vets founder) and Todd Mitchem (CEO of a company called High There!) set up a free marijuana giveaway for veterans, showing support in light of state medical authority negligence. Check it out!
